41. Having known a lot of racists over the years

Known different kinds of racists in various capacities, I would like to add this one thing to your excellent post: most racists don't know that they're racists.

Most of them are otherwise good, decent people who would never in a million years be racist against anyone they actually knew. They are all, however, terrified of "the other." More importantly, they either lack the courage to actually come out and say, "I hate those N***" or have the self-reflection skills needed to realize why their thinking is fucked up, or even that it is fucked up.

Does this make sense? They're not just ignorant of other races, they're ignorant of themselves.
